Publisher's Summary

Experience the third episode of the "Dino lernt Deutsch" story series for German learners on your stereo or headphones, at home or on the go! The narration speed and style of this audiobook is aimed at absolute beginners, with special emphasis on clear pronunciation, so that you can easily pause and repeat words and phrases whenever you please.

Intermediate learners are invited to just sit back and immerse themselves in the sounds and sights of the Cologne Carnival. To maximize learning benefits, we recommend listening to this audiobook together with a paperback or ebook edition of "Learn German with Stories: Karneval in Köln - 10 Short Stories for Beginners".

Would you consider the audio edition of Karneval in Köln (Learn German with Stories - 10 Short Stories for Beginners) to be better than the print version?

I now have bought both the audible and eBook version of this book , they go hand in hand. It is not easy to find good books at a upper beginner to intermediate level of German and the author addresses this area in excellent fashion. Some of the German phrases have been used in earlier books which I like thus revising from the past along with new phrases and ideas . Would like to see some of the authors other / non beginner range of books done in audio fashion in the future. Go for it please Andre.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Karneval in Köln (Learn German with Stories - 10 Short Stories for Beginners)?

Recommend , recommend , recommend My level of German has improved immensely since I started buying this series of books. They are price friendly also.

Have you listened to any of André Klein’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have bought all of the 3 audio books that exist at this point in time. They are all excellent , they are not too long or not short . Being able to speed up the spoken text with the Audible App is a great bonus also.

"easy"

First time listening didn't understand much maybe a word or two every other sentence and it's amazing how much I understood the second time! :) I'll try it again for a third after I listen to a different story or two

"great series. keep'em coming"

It's been a long while since the previous installment came out in audio, and I haven't looked at the printed version in a while too, but it's really great to be able to understand the audio. Andre' is one of a kind in this niche of German learning tools through stories.

"These are very entertaining stories"

From context, you can discover so much in terms of grammar, pronunciation conjugation, etc., if you're trying to learn a new language. Once you know a good handful of nouns and verbs, this is a great way to see how they go together.

Every time you listen, you pick up another word you didn't realize the first time around. I bought every one in this series. I love Ferien in Frankfurt too.

"Needs text and translation"

Without the text you won't be able to visualize the words being said. Without a translation you can get off on the wrong track. These 2 flaws are enough for someone like me who needs to visualize the words to help with learning retention to stay away. I am surprised there were so many glowing reviews and I suspect that is kind of fishy.

"Another great instalment."

Textbooks are never enough on their own. Stories really help with picking up vocabulary and these ones are great. They make me want to go and experience the carnival first hand.

"Great for German - but really annoying music!"

Where does Karneval in Köln (Learn German with Stories - 10 Short Stories for Beginners) rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very good

Any additional comments?

Unbelievably annoying, maniacal and loud harmonica 'muzak' suddenly bursts against your eardrums - after listening to the calm and soothing voice of the reader this makes for a real shock and has me lurching to the mute button as fast as I possibly can. Starting to feel real dread when starting and finishing the audiobooks as I need to prepare to stop this really irritating sound! It really does put me off listening.
